Man arrested in St. Pete fatal hit and run crash

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - A Pinellas County man has been charged in a double hit-and-run that left one person dead and another with serious injuries.

A St. Petersburg police statement says 21-year-old Timothy Deacon was arrested Friday night on charges that include DUI manslaughter, DUI with serious bodily injury and leaving the scene of a crash involving death. Jail records did not immediately list his bond.

Police say Deacon was driving carelessly when he drove over a curb and up on a sidewalk along the waterfront, hitting 67-year-old Gloria Mastell and 71-year-old Roger Wurr. Mastell was knocked over the seawall and into the water. She was pronounced dead on the scene. Wurr was taken to the hospital with life threatening injuries.
